Abstract: A method of producing extremely stable leukocytes from human blood samples which are stable for long period of time under extraordinary temperature conditions. The method also relates to producing and stabilizing the leukocytes with formaldehyde release agents. The method is directed at the use of the stabilized leukocytes as a control in assays for determining CD4+ and HIV diagnosis and therapy.
